If you’re anything like Shenae, the whole journey of having kids has become a total exploration in better understanding how you were raised.  This week we’re joined by the amazing, TikTok sensation on gentle parenting, Destini Ann, who is sharing with us a very grounded, easy, attainable lens on parenting that will allow us to keep it together in the most frustrating of parenting moments. Shenae speaks to seeing so much of herself in Bowie’s reactions and how that in turn also makes her realize how much of her parents discipline styles shine through into her parenting, especially in the intense parenting moments. If you’re someone who also struggles with seeking external validation, and hoping to raise a next generation who never seeks that kind of affirmation from others, Destini’s got some great advice for you that’s worth tuning in for.    Produced by Dear Media

For our most loyal listeners, you already know who brings all the “woo” to our conversations on the podcast, but in this episode we’re breaking down just how “woo woo” each of us will go, Shenae’s unexpecting introduction to woo, and why the world right now probably needs a little extra woo. Don’t worry, we’re not here to convert anyone, but you might just be surprised how much of your everyday life is in fact grounded by a little woo.    Produced by Dear Media

This week it’s just Annalynne and Shenae talking all about the buzz word of “boundaries”; where we have them, where we don’t, and the impact that has on our everyday lives.  More specifically, as we all enter a new phase beyond a global pandemic, how do we disconnect our minds from a place of constant urgency and reactivity to a place of contentment and genuine reflection on your own terms.

Can one person go too far with what they share on social media?  This week we’re talking to one of the queens of content creation, and arguably one of those people who really “go there” in terms of sharing all of their candid, messy, beautiful moments with the entire world.   Quigley got her first Hollywood shock after being told “You Suck” by Simon Cowell on American Idol.  From there, she took a path to success through content creation which was far more unique at the time than what we know now. Quigley walks us through the evolution of her channel and how she went from a fashion icon with a beautifully curated feed to a beautifully candid, honest, tell-all personality embracing the ups and downs of motherhood, business, and depression on a very public forum.    Produced by Dear Media

This week you’re in for a treat because we were in a full on “catch-up” mode and had all the energy to share some of our most hilarious manifestation stories - some that may or may not involve kissing Leonardo DiCaprio. As Summer approaches and we pull ourselves out of a pandemic slump, we can feel our energies shifting, moods getting lighter, ease coming back into our routines, and new projects to take on! (Yes, we’ll also be giving you a teaser of what we’re both working on right now).   Produced by Dear Media

You may know Julia Haart intimately from her Netflix Series, “My Unorthodox Life”, but today we unzip with her to discuss the journey that took her from obedient wife and mother in a fundamentalist community to renowned designer and CEO.     We’re discussing how conformity, modesty, staying silent, and downplayed intelligence were all such integral parts of how she was raised to show up in the world and what her breaking points were that made her crave existence in place where none of that was a reality for her or her four kids.    Grab your copy of the book “Brazen” by Julia Haart, available now anywhere books are sold.   Produced by Dear Media

We’re back with Part Two of our tell-all podcast about our addictions to sex, weed, alcohol, and having a good time.

We’ve alluded to some of our vices on previous episodes but we wanted to dedicate a two part episode to talking about each of our unique experiences with addiction.  Shenae’s husband Josh joins us for this episode as we each dive into our very different addictions we’ve had over the years and how we got there.   Stay tuned for next week’s episode as we dive into what the recovery process looked like for each of us and how that continues to manifest today.   Produced by Dear Media

This week we’re talking all things diet culture and how to create a different mindset around food. More specifically, if you happen to have a human in your home who is incredibly picky or stubborn when it comes to what they will and won’t eat - sometimes that’s a partner, sometimes that’s a toddler - this episode is for you!   Is it something we’re doing wrong if we’re raising a picky eater? How do we not subject our kids to diet culture while also trying to get them to put some food in their bodies?  If you have one of those humans in your home, this episode is for you!   If you want to learn more about Jessica and her resources head to https://www.jessicadiamondrdn.com/     Produced by Dear Media

This week is a really special episode because our guest is a celebrity psychic medium, Chris Medina, who came to the studio in LA to give us both a psychic reading.

This is a juicy one so for any of you who enjoy a good psychic reading, enjoy this double dose of him reading both Annalynne and Shenae.   To get your own reading from Chris, head to his website at http://www.chrismedina.guide/    Produced by Dear Media

Growing up in the acting world, each of us has had a really hard time both making and keeping friends. Twelve hour days on set isn’t really conducive to fostering strong friendships with anyone. So in this episode we’re diving into why it’s so important that the friendships we do have be really flexible and also free from drama - not just for us but for any adult who’s juggling busy careers, a home full of children, or frankly just a lot of your own “stuff” on the daily. Shenae shares a recent story that happened in one of her friendships and Annalynne is quick to walk her through the reality of the manipulation and baiting she hears through every piece of her story.   Produced by Dear Media
